The name says it all with this polish- Ideal Nude. It goes on the color your nails would ideally be- a nice pinky-beige. It's barely perceivable on my fingernails and does a good job of covering up any yellowing on my toenails left from my normal red polish. It dries very quickly, goes on well (not streaky), and seems to hold up pretty well to abuse. This has become an immeadiate staple for me.
